Very Special Guest Last weekend

[BubbaFrsh]

I had a stressful couple months, but good friends sure know how to pick up a guy's spirits! Had this special guest on board all day for a great day of friendship and celebration. I am very blessed to have such great friends.

That’s great! Who brought it? How full of names is the bottom band? Every 13 years it fills up and they take the oldest top band off and add a new blank bottom band (for those that wonder why it doesn’t grow to ten feet tall).

That is AWESOME!.
I hope you didn't scuff it up, because its on its way to Toronto next summer!

I think I would have had about 18 life jackets strapped onto the Cup! But very cool

I think the traveling one is a replica, not the real cup.

Well, that would make sense. In that case, just 9 life jackets...

It’s called the Presentation Cup. It’s explained here:

From what Mike(keeper of the cup that day) said it would actually float for about a minute or two before it went under. I guess they "press to test" a couple times over history.

we had it on the Gasparilla pirate ship a couple years ago, and we put the life jacket on it, the only limitation we had was "please don't shoot it"
